The newly constructed home of the Fairbanks APLIC, the Morris Thompson Cultural & Visitor's Center.

The Fairbanks Alaska Public Lands Information Center (FAPLIC) is an integral component of the community of Fairbanks which supports the appropriate use and enjoyment of Alaska's public lands and resources through "one-stop shopping" for public lands information, trip-planning assistance, and resource education. The interagency partnership embodied as FAPLIC encourages visitors and residents to seek meaningful, safe and enjoyable experiences on public lands and inspires to conserve and sustain the natural, cultural and historic resources of Alaska. This center was established by an act of Congress in Section 1305 of the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act of 1980.

Located in the Morris Thompson Cultural & Visitors Center, the Fairbanks Alaska Public Lands Information Center offers scheduled films and special events & programs throughout the year. A variety of educational programs are also offered year-round, on- and off-site, for community schools and youth groups. Our Center also produces a number of brochures on Interior Alaska.

The Explore Alaska lecture & film series is offered fall through spring, with programs on Alaskan adventures, recreational opportunities on public lands, and other Alaskan special interest themes.

Native and local artist demonstrations are held during First Friday, on the first Friday of each month.
The 100-seat theatre has regularly-scheduled films & presentations, with a high-def 14 foot wide screen, while our video nook with couches & large-screen TV show Alaskan films upon visitor request.
